Someone is actually talking about cobbler on this thread? That isn't allowed.

Halfway to being on fire.

MoniGram said:

Is this metaphor?

or better yet, a euphemism?

omg, MY FIRST RELEVANT RESPONSE!!!1! I'M GONG FREAK OUT!!!

i'm pretty sure i know the basics of making a good cobbler in terms of dealing with the fruit filling. i think i just need to figure out how to make kick-ass crumbly breading-y stuff.

what time is it in australia? where's charlotte?

Did you google this? I have heard of using oatmeal, sugar, cinnamon to make a topping.

i thought about googling it, but i'm not trusting google so much for recipes these days. i might give in and look at a few different variations, though...maybe i'll get my own ideas from doing that.

Damn, people are taking this thread seriously now.

Fun's over, time to go home. See you guys tomorrow.

I collect cook books, and here is a recipe from a woman who is a bit famous here in Oklahoma city.


Berry Cobbler

1 (#2) can of berrie (any fruit can be used)
2 cups water
1 Tbsp cornstarch

Place the above ingredients in a deep baking dish. Cover with a rich biscuit dough made with....

2 cups of all purpose flour (sifted)
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup of lard or shorting
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 scant of cup sweet milk
1/2 tsp salt

Mix ingredients. Roll crust really thin. Measure to cover your baking dish. Pour fruit in pan. Then cover the fruit with dough, cutting air vents on top of crust. Pinch sides. Sprinkle with sugar and dot with butter. Cook at 425 degrees for 10 mins. then reduce to 350 degrees. Bake until crust is golden brown.



Like I said this woman, is named Thelma Allen, and she is well known in Oklahoma for her cookbooks. Enjoy!


And yes...I actually put a cobbler recipe on this thread.

At this point, for safe measure, I would like to retract my original statement about killing myself if this thread caught fire.



I, however, still hate this thread.

you can't just unkill yourself whenever you feel like it, you know.

See it's still fun, even if the cobbler crisis is resolved.


Fire fire fire!
